Why do we put "in" when we write "in which?" Does that mean we are talking about a place? Like "where?"
I'm confused with "in which" and "where"; sometimes I see "where" in a similar case to ones that used "in which."
These are examples I saw:
1) Prosperity: a condition IN WHICH a person or community is doing well financially.
2) Anorexia: an illness IN WHICH a person has an overwhelming fear of becoming fat, and so they refuse to eat enough and become thinner and thinner.
I found out that when we use 'where' or 'in which', a word that follows them is a noun, unlike how we use a verb after 'which'. Am I on the right track? :roll:
I'd really appreciate if you could explain why we use "IN which", and also how it's different from "where", and just "which" (without in).
Thank you guys! God bless you! :-D
